i love this bimbo ass movie. sophia singlehandedly keeps the tumblr girl aesthetic alive. it‘s disgusting how she’s able to capture the freakish level of nostalgia that only a 15 year old girl can feel while presenting a seemingly pretty shallow movie. it loves how deeply moving aesthetics can be. the story doesn’t matter too much it’s more about the indie soundtrack and the sexy actors and each shot making you want run away from this hideous world and move into that one. maybe i’m just always going to be an escapist but i think sophia coppola is enabling girls like me.

💿sofia coppola’s niece, very similar stylistically. Palo Alto is one of my favorite films ever. kind of a “no plot just vibes” type beat if you’re into that. she also has a new movie coming soon starring Pamela Anderson that i’m very excited about ✨

my profound attachment to this movie is probably something i should unpack with a therapist... nonetheless, it is absolutely nasty, creepy, and reminiscent of all the aspects of girlhood i struggled with the most. u should definitely check it out :)

2020 brought a bunch of under-seen gems that‘ve been swooped under the rug ever since. “Sophie Jones” is the directorial debut from Jessica Barr, starring her cousin Jessie Barr. Sophie is a senior in high school who‘s Mom just passed. Amidst her grieving, she’s also experimenting with the boys in her school and trying to figure out what real connection means. A very ground-level indie with an exceptional main performance from Jessie Barr.
This one really takes you back— full of awkward intimacy, meltdowns, frank conversations, after-school drinking/partying, and sweet moments too. A great movie about grief, and never hits conventional high school movie tropes. Sophie’s spiritual journey into adulthood feels more honest and grounded in reality than other movies with similar themes. Highly recommended!
